Animation Exercises






These exercises were to practice arcs, squash/stretch, overlapping action, and character movement.  Every time I started a project, I had to re-download Harmony from online.  You have to be careful when skipping a few frames so that you don't accidentally fill in the space with the previous frames.  Although sometimes that can be helpful.
